It decided, however, that it would give full consideration to the subject at Its next session, June 13. in the meantime, however, the school Doaras committee will meet next Tuesday night and some members of the league expressed the fear that the committee might take some action thaw i would commit the board to the policy.! acnooi Director O. M. Plummer, a member of the teachers' committee, re assured the leaguers, however, that his committee would take no such action. He said as a matter of fact the ques tion of married or single teachers Is not before the board, anyway, and that when some teachers who happened to be marriea, were not reelected for next year, it meant merely that they were not being asked to rehew their con tracts with the board. The case of each married teacher constitutes an Individual case, and Involves no broad policy at all. Another Kesolntion Tabled. , One woman- member of the league presented a resolution, which was like wise tossed to the table, that the league disclaim any attitude of favor ing or opposing the employment of married teachers, and that any dele gation representing Itself to reflect the opinion of the league at a meeting of the board of education actually was Vested with no such authority. W. 8. U'Ren. independent candidate for governor, had been designated as the chief attraction for yesterday's luncheon, but by the time the debate on the teachers' Question tare him room. It was within a few minutes of the time to adjourn.- B. Lee Paget was introduced by Judge John H. Steven son as chairman of the day. Mr. U'Ren 'admitted at the outset that he might not be elected governor, but declared this would not mean a de featonly a postponement of his gov ernorship. He said he considered the post of chief executive most Important because the governor should be a con structive critic,. a man who can see de fects In government and have some thing at hand to, remove them. : Moras Xiiauor Traffic Starting his remarks on his policy with a broadside at the liquor traf fic, Mr. U'Ren denied that he Is a Prohibitionist of conscience. The traf fic should be wiped out for economic reasons, he insisted, because there seems to btf no way to reform It. He said If the "Oregon dry"' amendment passes and he is elected governor, ha will enforce the law to the letter. Single tax Is another plank in the U'Ren platform and the speaker said he wanted his single tax friends who might not agree with him on the prohibition question to know that he favored the idea of letting people drink themselves to death if they wanted to, so long as they don't do it for profit. Inasmuch as they can't do It without enhancing the profits of somebody, he said he felt prohibi tlon and single tax are not so far apart after all. 'I am not" seeking the office of gov ernor. torput the single tax Idea into effeet here during the next four years," Mr. U'Ren explained, "hut to put an efficient, economical govern ment machine Into such operation that afterwards anybody can be governor and that the office will run itself." Having Governor BespoaslIe. Explaining the reason that state appropriations total such an enor mous figure, Mr. U'Ren said nobody is responsible the way things are now.

He outlined the policy of making the governor alone responsible, leaving the legis lature to pass upon the appropriation bill presented by htm. He suggested the abolishment of numerous commis sions and the consolidation of the work of departments that nova overlap in so many Instances. He said the peace of the state is preserved by half a dozen Clfferent departments sheriff, constable, water bailiff, game and fish warden, nre warden, city police and others almost without number. He would have the whole business of preserving the peace handled by the state in one organiza tion. Pointing to the labor bureau, he said the labor commissioner has his depart, ment, there is a department of child labor, workmen's compensation acad ministratfon, and others on the same Job. Mr. U'Ren said he- would establish the cabinet form of government as far as possible, patterned after the na tional government, with the governor alone ultimately responsible, so that if any one had to be recalled, the c jlef executive alone would be the man. Teacher Question Diacuesed. The candidate referred to the discus-; slon on married teachers that had pre ceded his talk; saying he favored an economic condition that would allow every woman in the state to have a chance to earn a livelihood, regardless of her clvlL status. The speaker said he favored such a form of taxation that the burden upon actual living would be reduced. He would supplement this with an amend ed form of the Inheritance tax, where by devisors of enormous estates should contribute in a constantly Increasing graduation, so that by the ' time the man Of $5,000,000 or 36,000,000 should finish his, life work it would not be necessary 'for hlm to leave his money to hospitals or universities, because the state would take a big share of the money, and do its own endowing. C. W. Barree read a proposed amend ment to the state constitution, putting thehemployment question Into the hands of he labor department. o that every-one could have a knowledge of conditions in the industrial fabric.
